IPv6 RD compatible modems

How do I know if a non-CenturyLink modem is 6RD or Dual Stack compatible?

If you are not using an IPv6 compatible CenturyLink modem, we can not guarantee they will work with 6rd or Dual Stack.
You will need to check with the manufacturer to verify its compatibility and work with them to configure the modem.
CenturyLink Internet Tech Support will not be able to help you with the setup or troubleshooting of your 3rd party modem.

IPv6 RD FAQs

Do all internet users need to be immediately concerned about transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6?

No. IPv4 and IPv6 protocols will run concurrently for several years. However, if you are doing business with companies that offer IPv6 only websites, you may need to transition sooner. CenturyLink recommends that you work with your IT contact to determine how quickly you should convert to IPv6.

What is Dual Stack?

Dual-stack is when both protocols, IPv4 and IPv6, run on the same network infrastructure,
and there's no need to encapsulate IPv6 inside IPv4 (using tunneling).

When will CenturyLink's network be fully IPv6 compatible?

CenturyLink is currently testing Dual Stack on its network. When testing is complete, it will be listed here.

Which CenturyLink modems are Dual Stack compatible?

CenturyLink is currently testing Dual Stack on its network. When testing is complete, it will be listed here.

Will I still be able to order IPv4 static IPs after the 6rd or Dual Stack launches?

At this time, IPv4 static IPs can still be ordered from CenturyLink.

Can I use IPv4 static IPs and 6rd together?

Yes.

How do I update my DNS records to go along with my IPv6 address?

If you have CenturyLink High-Speed Internet with static IPv4 addressing, you may use your IPs in association with 6RD to have static IPv6 addressing.
At this time, CenturyLink is not supporting any DNS for 6RD. If you need this functionality, you may need to use a 3rd party for DNS forward addressing.
CenturyLink will not do DNS reverse delegation for any 6rd address or prefix.
